The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on Philemon
St. John Chrysostom preached through Philemon verse by verse, and these are his sermons as they were taken down. Each one explains a passage and then turns to how his listeners should live.
St. John Chrysostom says some people thought this letter too small to bother with, and sets out to show them how much is in it.
